What is an accessory to murder?

Basically, an accessory to murder is somebody who assists the main perpetrator with a murder but does not commit the act personally. For instance, you may be charged with accessory to murder if you knew of plans for the crime beforehand and facilitated the murder. In many cases, accessories share responsibility for the underlying crime. They may even face similar punishments to the primary murder defendants.
